DELTA State Governor, Dr Emmanuel
Uduaghan, has disclosed that the state
University Teaching Hospital, Oghara,
would start kidney transplant latest in
February just as he acknowledged the
tremendous increase in medical tourism
to the state.
Governor Uduaghan who stated this
Tuesday, October 1, during a Radio/
Television Phone-in-Programme at the
Delta Broadcasting Service, Asaba, said
that the state government was presently
benefiting from its partnership with the
University of Texas Teaching Hospital,
Dallas with some of its doctors and nurses
undergoing training on renal issues and
treatment in Dallas.
He said: “Hopefully by February next year,
the Renal Unit of the state University
Teaching Hospital, will start kidney
transplant in Oghara, in conjunction with
the Texas University Teaching Hospital.”
He said that there has been an increased
medical tourism to the state, due to the
ultra-modern facilities at the state
University Teaching Hospital, Oghara.
Dr Uduaghan revealed that as a result of
the pressure on the hospital facilities and
personnel, an additional 300- bed facility
would soon be added to the Teahcing
Hospital, stressing that this would ease
the pressure on the hospital for medical
attention and reduce the waiting time for
beds especially for surgical cases.
He explained that the various health
programmes in the state, especially the
Free Maternal and Rural Health Scheme,
have benefitted both Deltans and non-
Deltans alike, especially the poor and
needy in the state, stating that “the
programme is open to all Nigerians
irrespective of states and tribes in the
spirit of brotherliness and peaceful co-
existence.”
